Islam Led The World In Science And Art...

Here is an article by Mohamed Elmasry, hoping to create an 'intellectual recognition', or appreciation of islamists, within the world today. He does bring an argument with the resources listed. There is no doubt, within islam, there are many intelligent individuals. We are all human beings first, created by the same Maker. Perhaps it is islam itself, that stands in the way of these people, to make real humanitarian contributions for the world today.

Read the article on Media Monitors Network.

Here is a list, many may be familiar with this list, that makes a comparison of Jewish and Arab contributions in todays society.

The Jews are not promoting brain washing the children in military training camps, teaching them how to blow themselves up and cause maximum deaths of Jews and other non Muslims.

The Jews don't hijack planes, nor kill athletes at the Olympics.

The Jews don't traffic slaves, nor have leaders calling for Jihad and death to all the Infidels.

Perhaps the world's Muslims should consider investing more in standard education and less in blaming the Jews for all their problems.

Regardless of your feelings about the crisis between Israel and the Palestinians and Arab neighbors, even if you believe there is more culpability on Israel's part , the following two sentences really say it all:

If the Arabs put down their weapons today, there would be no more violence.
If the Jews put down their weapons today, there would be no more Israel."

Check it out for yourself, do some research. This list could be updated, but you get the point.

Am I biased? Yes, but look at the world today and tell me we would be better off without Jewish/Israeli technology and contribution...

Round And Round We Go, Where We Stop...

Let's keep shoveling money into the pit my friends!

Dennis Ross has a solution for Fatah... NOT!

Here's an excerpt from SaneWorks.us:

"In this essay he takes the standard line: we should all jump on the secular Fatah bandwagon as a way to crush Hamas. Olmert is already on the wagon.

The problem of course is that Fatah is no less terror-driven than Hamas. And, Ross has a short memory. When he was part of the unrequited love team of Clinton-Barak after Arafat and Fatah rejected their overtures for a love fest at peace now, Ross wrote books, gave speeches and more about the futility of Fatah and its leadership. He repeated the old Israeli line: The Palestinians never lose an opportunity to lose an opportunity. Trite dribble."

Is There A Good Sharia?..


There are those who would purport that 'sharia' law' is not all bad. We should not fool ourselves into this mindset. Like frog in a pot of water before the heat is turned on, we will regret it.

Tony Blankley of Townhall.com, is commenting on the book "Journey into Islam: The Crisis of Globalization", written by his friend Dr. Akbar Ahmed.

Professor Ahmed concludes, "Due to both misjudgments by the United States and regrettable developments in Muslim attitudes, "The poisons are spreading so rapidly that without immediate remedial action, no antidote may ever be found." And Dr. Ahmed has always been an optimist."

Will we really begin to protect ourselves as a sovereign nation, or will our government continue to lead us down a dark path of destruction?..

Digging The Hole, Deeper...

Well, the U.S. will continue to fund and supply weapons to the ill-fated Fatah, and Mahmoud Abbas. Also, Hamas scored big when taking the last Fatah stronghold in the Gaza.
See Aaron Klein's report here.

The question is, why? and will we learn from this debacle?

Go to Lazer Beams and read a very good analysis of the recent Hamas takeover and the U.S. planned re-finance of Abu Mazen, aka Mahmoud Abbas...

Do take the time to read these reports.

Just A Little Jab...

Yesterday was full of turmoil for Mahmoud Abbas and his Fatah party. As of yesterday, Hamas had taken over most of the critical security infrastructure and more, causing Abbas to dissolve the ever-failing unity government. They are in a dire situation and Hamas has declared domination of the Gaza with no intent of going back to a Fatah/Hamas style rule there.

While Hamas is killing many, execution style, bombing and firing upon hospitals creating absolute anarchy, MSNBC in this article, interjects this little snippet:

"Israel was also caught up in the Palestinian power struggle, with Palestinian security officials alleging that an Israeli tank shell killed six people — including five children — in Rafah on Thursday. The Israeli military denied there was any army fire in the area.

Hospital workers said the children were all siblings under the age 16 and were riding in a car at the time they were killed. The driver of the car was also killed, the security officials said."

It's good that MSNBC, as well as others, are showing the chaos taking place in Gaza and not necessarily sugar coating the events. The fact still remains, the media HATES Israel. They can't even report the destruction of two rival islamic factions without somehow bringing Israel into the mix.

The above quote was irresponsible and should have been edited out. The 'tank shelling', as indicated, was alleged. You see how they try to make Israel look bad by saying 'five children' were killed, and they were siblings under the age of sixteen. This quote was not based on FACT and never should have been printed, but hey, Arabs killing Arabs is understood, right? The Israelis kill children...

Hell In Gaza...


As most of you now know, there is civil war in the Gaza.

When Israel was in the Gaza none of this took place. Yes, the 'palestinians' were living in an impoverished condition. It was not the fault of Israel, but of the 'palestinian' authority. Where do you think the millions upon millions of international aide money is going? It's not going to the people that need it, just look at them...

There have been many there that want to immigrate to other parts of the world, and what do you think the response of their leadership was, it was this:

The rising number of Palestinians seeking to emigrate has prompted Jerusalem's Mufti, Mohammad Ahmed Hussein, to issue a fatwa prohibiting Palestinians from leaving Palestinian territories.

"Immigration from this blessed land is not permissible according to Islamic law," said the religious edict. "People who live in this land should not leave it for the invaders and occupiers."

That's right, this is for the good of their people, why else would they not be allowed to leave?
Ed Morrissey at FRONTPAGEMAG believes it's for this reason:


That's a sure sign of desperation. Imams now forbid movement of Palestinians even to other "blessed" lands, such as Muslim Egypt. Why? They know that if the Palestinians leave Gaza in droves, it will leave terrorist groups like Hamas, Fatah, and Islamic Jihad much more exposed to Israeli strikes.

The imams want their congregations to continue their roles as human shields so that terrorists can conduct holy wars. Isn't that special? No wonder they call Islam the Religion of Peace.

Now that the Gaza has exploded into a religious hell, no one wants to stay.

Hamas and Fatah, are full of devils, and these are the ones that we and the world want to give the opportunity to have their own state? Right next to the beloved Israel? FOOLS! Yes, we are fools if we press for that arrangement.

Israel, to their own detriment, leaves the Gaza, leaves their wonderful agricultural greenhouses etc., intact, for the 'palestinians' and what happens? The arab 'palestinians' destroy what was handed to them and now they are killing each other!

Give them a state? NEVER!

Not All 'Palestinians' Hate The Great Satan...


There are some decent people that are trapped in the middle of the jihadist' mentality. Some of these people just want to have 'normal' lives and raise their families in relative peace. It seem that there is not more than an ounce of it in the Gaza strip or so-called Palestinian territories.

Where do these people want to go you ask? Most, it is reported, want to come here to the U.S., Canada or the E.U.. Interesting choices indeed and who could blame them.

Here's an excerpt from the JP:
Alarmed by the growing number of Palestinians who are emigrating from the Palestinian territories, the Palestinian Authority's mufti has issued a fatwa [religious decree] forbidding Muslims to leave.

Sources in the PA Foreign Ministry told The Jerusalem Post that some 10,000 Palestinians have filed requests to emigrate from the West Bank and the Gaza Strip since the beginning of the year.

See the whole story here at the Jerusalem Post.

The Devil Wears Prada...


An interesting contrast can be found in Iran today.

While many in America may think Iran to be 'tenth century' country of 'uncivilized' lifestyles, they must think again.

Yes, Iran is making a push towards dawah, or the spread of islam, with sharia at it's core, but many in Iran have taken a more 'western' style of living and they enjoy it.

Debbie, at The Right Truth has this on the subject...

al-Taqiyya...


The concept of 'al-Taqiyya' is to be considered. I do not know as absolute fact, but it is my suspicion that this concept is invoked with regularity among the muslim ranks.

You do hear this from muslim leaders. When they speak to Western audiences they say things that we may want to hear, and then when speaking to their muslim brothers, the truth comes out and it is quite different than what was spoken to the Western audience. I believe this same technique is used by the various Islamic organizations here in America...

Here are a couple of excerpts from the above link...

The word "al-Taqiyya" literally means: "Concealing or disguising one's beliefs, convictions, ideas, feelings, opinions, and/or strategies at a time of eminent danger, whether now or later in time, to save oneself from physical and/or mental injury." A one-word translation would be"Dissimulation."

Ibn Abbas also commented on the above verse, as narrated in Sunan al-Bayhaqi and Mustadrak al-Hakim, by saying: "al-Taqiyya is the uttering of the tongue, while the heart is comfortable with faith." NOTE: The meaning is that the tongue is permitted to utter anything in a time of need, as long as the heart is not affected; and one is still comfortable with faith.

Unless proven absolutely wrong, I would again say, this a normal practice among many muslims when addressing the 'infidels' ...

Catskill Mountains Commune Finaly Getting Some Attention...


It's about time, this group has been in existence for approximately twenty-seven years or so. The neighbors have complained and some have moved.
We must maintain certain freedoms for the citizens of the U.S. of A., but when there is suspicious activitie resembling the enemy that wants to destroy us and anything not muslim, then the authorities must move to end such activities...

Go to the Political Pistachio for the story on 'Islamberg Revisited'...

Will The Internet Slay Islam?..

This is an interesting question and one that points to what of Bullets and Bibles, and others, are trying to accomplish. At the very least, we want to create an awareness.

Go to the Global Politician, and read an article of the same title (as this post), this is an interesting take...
Here's an excerpt from David Wood:
The truth about Muhammad has been one of the world's best-kept secrets. For centuries, it has been virtually impossible to raise objections about the character of Muhammad in Muslim countries, for anyone who raised such objections would (following the example set by Muhammad himself) immediately be killed. Outside the Muslim world, there has been little interest in Islam. But things have changed. Now many people are interested in Islam, and Muslims aren't able to silence everyone. Moreover, with the advent of the Internet, it is now impossible to keep Muhammad's life a secret.

Atempts To Equate Islam With Terrorism Must Be Rejected...



Why is it, that very few within Islam will speak out against jihad?
Generally, when a 'moderate' muslim does speak, it is to say "this is a religion of peace, it has been hijacked by extremists outside of true islam." Mixed messages, always the mixed message...

Actions will speak much louder than words, my friends.

Go to Jihad Watch and you'll see the latest from Pakistani Prime Minister Shaukat Aziz.

Please take a moment to read the article...

Focus...


Dear readers,

Since I began this humble blog of mine, three months ago, I have posted on various subjects of which I feel passionately about. My first post describes what I wanted to accomplish and what some of my passions are.

There are many of us that have the same passions and concerns for our country (check them out on my right hand sidebar, blogs I enjoy) and express them very well. I am just a small fish in this big ocean, still learning the ropes.

Part of my original intent was to create some sort of awareness of the events around us, and with that in mind, I am narrowing my focus. It may take a bit of discipline on my part not to post on certain things I find interesting or exasperating.

I will begin to focus more on the activities of Islam here in our country. I believe there is a subtle , and not so subtle, danger that is lurking, to undermine our sovereignty and change the core values that we , as Americans, have grown up with. I will also continue to post the Wednesday Hero, to honor those that 'give some and those that give it all' to further secure our freedoms...

This is not based on racism, as some will claim, but to help create awareness.

I am open to all 'facts' and cooperation based on 'truth'.

Be well my friends, and a special thanks to Bill over at The Bill T Blog. Bill, unknowingly, helped me to choose the focus for this blog...

Additional 'Rights For The Muslim' In America...

YOUR RIGHTS AS A STUDENT

1. You have the right to inform others about your religion. You have the right to pass out literature or speak to others about Islam, as long as it is not done in a disruptive manner.
2. You have the right to wear religious clothing. You also have the right to wear clothing with a religious message, as long as other clothes with messages are allowed.
3. You have the right to organize student-led prayer on campus, as long as the service is not disruptive.
4. You may have the right to attend Friday prayer. The Supreme Court has upheld the right of states to allow students “release time” to attend religious classes or services.
5. You have the right to be excused from school for religious holidays. You should inform the school that you will be absent.
6. You have the right to be excused from class discussions or activities that you find religiously objectionable.
7. You have the right to form an extracurricular Muslim student group.

REACTING TO INCIDENTS OF ANTI-MUSLIM HATE

If you believe you have been the victim of an anti-Muslim hate crime or discrimination, you should:

1. Report the incident to your local police station and FBI office IMMEDIATELY. Ask that the incident be treated as a hate crime. Ask witnesses to give you their name and contact information.
2. Inform CAIR even if you believe it is a “small” incident. Incidents may be reported online at: http://www.cair-net.org/ireport/ or TEL: 202-488-8787, FAX: 202-488-0833, E-MAIL: cair@cair-net.org
3. Document the incident. Write down exactly what was said and/or done by the offender. Save evidence. Take photographs.
4. Act quickly. Each incident must be dealt with when it happens, not when convenient.
5. Decide on the appropriate action to be taken. Consider issuing a statement from community leaders, holding a news conference, organizing a protest, meeting with officials, or starting a letter writing campaign.
6. Mobilize community support. Contact CAIR and a local mosque or organization.
7. Stay on top of the situation.
8. Announce results. When the incident is resolved, make an announcement to the same people and organizations originally contacted.

REACTING TO ACTS OF DISCRIMINATION

1. Remain calm.
2. Report the discrimination to the appropriate authorities and to CAIR.
3. Document the discrimination. Save memos. Keep a detailed journal. Note the presence of witnesses. Keep copies of all correspondence. Create a “paper trail.”
4. Ask witnesses to give you their name and contact information.
5. Consider contacting a lawyer.
Take steps to increase security of your local mosque, Islamic center or school.

KNOW YOUR RIGHTS IF CONTACTED BY THE FBI

American Muslims support strong law enforcement. We also treasure civil rights. Your right to be politically active or to hold different beliefs/views is protected by the Constitution. If the FBI visits you, remember:

1. Never lie or provide false information to the FBI. Lying to an FBI agent is a crime.
2. You have no obligation to talk to the FBI, even if you are not a citizen. Refusing to answer questions cannot be held against you. It does not imply that you have something to hide.
3. You do not have to permit them to enter your home. FBI agents must possess a search warrant in order to enter your home. If they say they have a warrant, demand to see it before allowing them to enter. Even if they have a warrant, you are under no obligation to answer questions. ALWAYS have an attorney present when answering questions.
4. Contact CAIR and an attorney for advice.



Know your rights if contacted by the FBI? What would a person be doing that would cause the FBI to contact them?

As you can see, CAIR wants to be involved. Some of the suggestions for action, are almost incitement for rebellion in themselves...

'Lawful Islam' Example...

Here is an example of what muslims are providing to their community here in America.
This is from the CAIR-Houston web site...

YOUR RIGHTS AS AN EMPLOYEE

Federal law makes it illegal for an employer to discriminate against an employee on the basis of religion, race, or national origin. Title VII of the 1964 Civil Rights Act guarantees your right to:

1) Reasonable religious accommodation. The failure of an employer to reasonably accommodate your religious practices constitutes discrimination. “Religious practices” includes wearing a beard, hijab, prayer on the job, and going to Jumah prayer.
2) Fairness in hiring, firing, and promotions. Your employer is prohibited from considering religion when making decisions affecting your employment status.
3) A non-hostile work environment. Your employer must ensure that you are not subjected to anti-Muslim insults, harassment or unwelcome, excessive proselytizing.
4) Complain about discrimination without fear of retaliation. Federal law guarantees your right to report an act of alleged discrimination. It is illegal for your employer to retaliate against you for your complaint.

WHEN FACED WITH DISCRIMINATION ON THE JOB

1) Remain calm.
2) Inform the offending party that you believe his/her actions are discriminatory.
3) Report the discriminatory action in writing to company management.
4) Begin documenting the discrimination by saving memos, keeping a detailed journal, noting the presence of witnesses, and making written complaints (keep copies). Create a “paper trail.”
5) Contact the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) and local county or state civil rights agencies to educate yourself about legal options.
6) Contact an attorney to discuss your case.
7) DO NOT sign any documents or resign without an attorney’s advice.
8) Ask to be transferred to another department or job site.
9) Ask for mediation.
10) Contact CAIR to file a report.

YOUR RIGHTS AS AN AIRLINE PASSENGER

As an airline passenger, you are entitled to courteous, respectful and non-stigmatizing treatment by airline and security personnel. You have the right to complain about treatment that you believe is discriminatory. If you believe you have been treated in a discriminatory manner, immediately:

1) Ask to speak to a supervisor.
2) Ask if you have been singled out because of your looks, dress, race, ethnicity, faith, or national origin.
3) Ask for the names and ID numbers of all persons involved in the incident.
4) Ask witnesses to give you their names and contact information.
5) Write down a statement of facts immediately after the incident. Be sure to include the flight number, the flight date, and the name of the airline.
6) Contact CAIR to file a report.

This is only a sample, there is more. Information is ammunition, and they are educating.

I am all for treating another human with kindness, but that is another subject...

The Threat Of 'Lawful Islam'...

Lawful Islam, this is a real threat being perpetrated today, in many societies of the world, including our own. I have posted on some examples in the past and Bill at The Bill T Blog, has reminded of the importance of 'know thy enemy'.

We have an enemy today that is cunning, and have a well thought out agenda of world domination, by any means. As Bill had pointed out, we are aware of the threats of violence and manipulation through fear. Fear is a great motivator, but it is not their only motivator.

Here are some examples from Islamist Watch, of 'lawful Islam' being put into place. We must educate ourselves and somehow make our voices heard.

Will you join in?..

Hamas TV Drops Militant Mickey Mouse


Ok...

So, having many voices speak their outrage against this 'mouse attack', has caused Hamas to reassess their position on the mouse.

Israelnetdaily.com provided the comment found on the on-line edition of the Jerusalem Post: 'Mustafa Barghouti, Palestinian Information Minister, said the use of the cartoon character in such a role represented a "mistaken approach" to the Palestinian struggle against Israeli occupation.'

Mistaken approach? I would bet that they feel the only mistake was much of the western world getting in an uproar about it. They have demonstrated great will to teach their children to become a shahid for shuada (martyrs for suicide/homicide bombings).

Nuff said...

Nice Mouse or Dirty Rat?..


This story has been circulating the web and wanted to bring it here.

It is despicable what the adults, within these groups, will do to their children.They will stop at nothing to program the innocent , so to accomplish their goals of world domination. I have seen example after example of the innocence being removed from these children of the so-called palestinians and extremist mid-east groups.

There are those who have debated this story, saying they are being taught the importance of 'national pride' and a good education. You decide, based on the examples of behavior by these groups, it's hard to see anything but hatred, death and destruction...

Go to Palestinian Media Watch to see this example.

We Must Extend Hospitalities to Muslims...

I came across a story concerning the muslim population in our universities here in America.
Katherine Kersten of the Star Tribune, has covered this story concerning the Minneapolis Community and Technical College, who have plans to install washing facilities known as 'Wudu'. This is to accommodate the muslim population at the university as they prepare for prayer. If I understand correctly, our tax dollars are being used for this. Karen has followed up with this example in Canada.

What is astonishing (or not) to me, is the direction our country, and our educational system, has gone when it comes to religion. Many steps have been taken to squelch the Judeo-Christian values that are the very foundation of our country. Many have cried "foul" when it comes to any public display of these values. As a matter of fact, humanism has been the order of the day and Christians, who stand for morality, are looked upon as uneducated when it come to matters of society. Basically, there is no place for a righteous God in our lives here in America...

These things are not so when it comes to the muslim population. Phil Davis, the president at MCTC, had this to say: 'It’s a simple matter of extending “hospitality” to newcomers, no different than providing a fish option in the college cafeteria for Christian students during Lent'.
This is a definite PC reply, done out of ignorance, or worse. The move toward installing these facilities, is a move to encourage Sharia, plain and simple. If you think that's ridiculous, it's my opinion that you are just as blind as Mr. Davis. You can go to msa-national.org to see more. (I purposely left the link off).

This is the United States of America people! When you come here, you do as we do. You do not come here and demand that your customs are to be recognized and implemented. If you don't like the way things are done here, go back home!

Part of the issue with Islam is, we are at war with it, across the globe. Many today are being murdered in the name of Islam. Dawah is their goal, that is, the spread of Islam. Just look around if you don't believe it.

We can not allow the insurgence of this religion, and we must vote in leadership that have the balls to say "enough"! I do realize that there are muslims that practice a form of Islam privately, quietly, and I'm fine with that. Bring it out in the open and demand that we accommodate it, "enough"!

This is The United States Of America!

Muslim opens with prayer in Texas Senate last week



In the Texas Legislature last week, Dr. Yusuf Ziya Kavakci, a muslim imam, opened the State Senate session with prayer. This marked the first time in Texas history that a muslim cleric has ever started the session in prayer. Also surprising is that Dr. Kavakci was scheduled at the invitation of State Senator, Florence Shapiro, who happens to be Jewish. What is wrong with this picture? Why must we continue to have this erroneous attitude of inclusiveness? Do we think if we play nice this ideology will leave us alone? NO, it and they won't!

Come on people, WAKE UP.
